INFORMATION SEEKING STRATEGY
Different tutorials for the users have been
developed using buttom-up strategies and
technological resources. Restaurant vocabulary
and idiomatic expressions are introduced,
evaluated and reinforced by using different
Internet sites, JQUIZ tool, two power point
presentations with hyperlinks, and a movie maker
.

POSSIBLE SOURCES
  • The Internet provided a great variety of sources
    video activities, restaurant vocabulary ,
    pictures , illustrations, idiomatic expressions,
    tutorials and quizes about restaurant
    vocabulary. Bibliographical material was
    researched to find out what different authors
    suggest to work with tutorials. Some authors
    that refer to this are
  • Ur, Penny (Learner Autonomy, 2000)
  • Brown, S. Helgesen, M. (Practical English
    Language Teaching Listening)
  • Harmer, Jeremy (The Practice of English Language
    Teaching, 1991)
  • Carter, R. Nunam, D. The Cambridge Guide to
    Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages,
  • (2001)
  • Killickaya, Ferit. (Authentic Materials and
    Cultural Content in EFL Classrooms, 2004)
  • Kim, D. (Innovative Educational Technology in the
    Global Classroom, 2009)
  • Loneran, J. (Video in Language Teching, 1984).

Use of the Information
  • The sources can be accessed by The Internet, and
    at the Masters Program Library.
  • The bibliographical material consulted shed light
    on different Internet sites that could be
    accessed to consult material. It also guided the
    collaborative team to understand better how to
    deal with technological resources to teach
    vocabulary integrated to real contexts.

6
Ten different Internet links were chosen and
uploaded on The Top Ten Resources List.
The links from the Internet were selected because
they presented restaurant and food vocabulary as
well as idiomatic expressions related to the
topic in a simple easy-to access way. Some
relevant pictures were selected to design power
point presentations and Jquiz activities.
The bibliographical material guided the
organization of the tutorials pedagogically
(bottom-up strategy) from a technologically
oriented perspective.

The collaborative team brushed upon The
Internet sites that prove useful to introduce new
vocabulary and idioms on vocabulary and idiomatic
expression at the restaurant. The participants
selected the most interesting web sites and
uploaded them in their vocabulary resource
page, then, ten top resources were selected to
elaborate different tutorial s managing bottom-up
strategies. The participants collaborated via
e-mail and wiki by adding comments, suggestions,
and posting material designed to teach
restaurant and food vocabulary and expressions.

The tutorial consists on two power point
presentations to introduce vocabulary about food
and idioms , and three game-quiz activities to
reinforce the target vocabulary and idiomatic
expressions, a movie maker to expose the learners
to realia and typical expresions used at the
restaurant . The learners will get started
getting familiar with the target vocabulary by
accessing the power point presentations. The
technical requirements are the basic skills that
enable the users to use the mouse and open the
program and got to the next steps, click the
links to watch the movie and use the tutorial to
assess their understanding.

EVALUATION The tutorials were designed
to be easy-to handle and self-explanatory.
Learners can access the activities by following
up instructions. The buttom-up strategy
allows gradual exposure to the new material form
basic vocabulary to integrated challenging
contexts such as the movie maker task.
